Simple Styles - elegant, simple WPF control styles by Robert Ingebretsen

Robert Ingebretsen (WPF program manager) has released a version of his Simple Styles for the Feb CTP of WPF. The styles provide great examples of how to alter the appearance of the common WPF controls including

  • Button
  • CheckBox
  • ComboBox
  • Expander
  • GroupBox
  • Label
  • ListBox
  • ListView
  • Menu
  • ProgressBar
  • RadioButton
  • ScrollBar
  • Slider
  • Tab
  • TextBox
  • Tooltip
  • TreeView

The styles are well-factored into a single Xaml file for each control type. If you're looking at writing custom styles for any of the built-in controls, or just want some simple and attractive styles to use in your application you should definitely use these as a starting point.
